Take Care of the Pennies.

Americans are said to be a careless, money
spending people, who disdsin, or do not care
to practice those small economies which the
French and German nations, for example,
find necessary. There is probably some
truth in this charge, for in America money
comes easier than in the old countries, and
also goes easier Yet. America is the land
of inventions, and OF new ideas. and of uni
versal progress. Among the new ideas, one
which has occssioned good deal of talk, is
the adaptation of Lactart and Honey to the
cure of coughs and colds. This preparation
is put up by the Avery Lscttte Company, OF
Boston, the manufacturers of the famous
Lactart (acid of milk and is meeting with
wonderful success in the cure of coughs,
colds, hosrseness, and sore throat. Lsct art
being the pure acid of milk, compounded
with honey in certain proportions, is found
to possess a true curative power. There is
nothing very mysterious in this result, for
people have always been in the habit of using
"a sweet and q sour" for throat difficulties.
But nothing in this line, as effective as Lactart
and Honey, has before been tried. DIR. o.
S. Sanders, one of Bostons distinguished
physicians, writes 81 recommend Lsctart
and Honey for coughs, colds, sore throat. etc.
1t aids the bowels ia constipation, and has a
like effect in diarrhea" and his testimony is
support d by many others Lactart and
Honey is exceedingly pleasant to take, and is
sure to benefit the user.

The Massachusetts Democratic Conven
ton fails to suit in any particular the mug
wumps. The Boston Herald, the organ
of this Cream OF political parties" is out
spoken in its criticism of the convention.
In one place it says, There is nothing in
the proceedings of the Democratic State
Convention to make it attractive to any
independent voter. Taken altogether it
appears like the work of body OF men
without political principle or political
sagacity, careless of the public service,
and only anxious about the offices. It's
whole tone was 'nsincere and dishonest"
Another remark s,-"Its leading candi-
date stands as far from representing what
President Cleveland does as it is possible
tor a man to do in the same party. II Mr..
Coverings views on civil service, pensions
for all soldiers and the currency are sound
views on the same questions cannot be,
for they are Numerically opposite
Speaking of the platform it says,-"ln g
convention of this character the platform
is of the slightest consequence. Even
where its words are commendable, it fails
to inspire any degree of confidence. We
might quote more fully il necessary but
this, perhaps. is sufficient to show how
sadly left the mugwumps have been, and
how easily the democrats have "snubbed'
the whole PARTY.

Gov. Hill of New York requested that
no wine should appear on the table at
public dinner given him Thursday night
Perhaps Mr.. Hill thought that this request
would cause the temperance people OF
New York TO forget his vetoes of the
temperance bills passed by the last State
legislature as we'll as his support Of the
liquor-sellers' plans during his term OF
Office. New York temperance people are

While the changes in the moral senti-

ner, secretary.
some concerted action In regard to the
anti-liquor legislation OF the present
state legislature, and TO oppose the pas
sage OF the heavy liquor license bill now
before that body. After q powerful ad-
dress by the president, IL was decided to
elect committee or lobby OF two mem
bers to go to Austin and endeavor, by
all means in their power, to prevent the
passage OF the law. Two members
were chosen. A. |. Lock wood and Ii. w .
Bitter, and they will leave Monday next.

will be taken.
